摘要：

数据可视化设计师的专业角色越来越受欢迎，学术研究和专业实践社区之间的关系也越来越受欢迎。然而，尽管这些社区之间的知识共享的潜力，我们很少了解从业者在现实世界中的设计，专业设置的方式。对众多设计学科的研究表明，实践者处理复杂情况的方式与研究人员的方式根本不同。在这项工作中，我采取了以实践为导向的方法来理解可视化设计实践。20位数据可视化从业者接受了采访，并询问了他们的设计过程，包括他们采取的步骤，他们如何做出决策以及他们使用的方法。研究结果表明，从业者不遵循高度系统化的过程，而是依赖于情境形式的认识和行动，他们借鉴先例，并使用方法和原则，确定适当的时刻。这些发现对可视化研究人员如何理解和与从业者互动，以及教育工作者如何培训未来的数据可视化设计师具有重要意义。

英文摘要：

Professional roles for data visualization designers are growing in popularity, and interest in relationships between the academic research and professional practice communities is gaining traction. However, despite the potential for knowledge sharing between these communities, we have little understanding of the ways in which practitioners design in real-world, professional settings. Inquiry in numerous design disciplines indicates that practitioners approach complex situations in ways that are fundamentally different from those of researchers. In this work, I take a practice-led approach to understanding visualization design practice on its own terms. Twenty data visualization practitioners were interviewed and asked about their design process, including the steps they take, how they make decisions, and the methods they use. Findings suggest that practitioners do not follow highly systematic processes, but instead rely on situated forms of knowing and acting in which they draw from precedent and use methods and principles that are determined appropriate in the moment. These findings have implications for how visualization researchers understand and engage with practitioners, and how educators approach the training of future data visualization designers.
